ATOM IZER.

$PECIFIGA'1ION forming part of Letters Patent No. 675,243, dated May 28,1901.

Application filed July 3, 1900.

To aZZ whom it may concern..-

Be it known that I, JOSIAH K. PROCTOR, a citizen of the United States,residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, haveinvented certainImprovements in Atomizers, of which the following is a specification.

The main object of myinvention is to construct an atomizer for sprayingwater or other liquids by means of steam or air under pressure, so thatit can be readily applied to ordinary tubing and can be cheaply andaccurately manufactured.

A further object of the invention is to so construct the atomizer thatany number of them can be arranged side by side, so as to spray anextended area.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a sectional view illustratingmy invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view showing a series of atomizersattached to two supply-pipes, and Fig.

3 is a perspective view of the atomizer det-ached.

A is the steam or air supply pipe, B the supply-pipe for water or otherliquid, and D 2 5 is the atomizer.

The atomizer D consists of two parts d and d. The part d is hollowthroughout and is screw-thread ed at one end and is screwed into thepipe A. The opposite end of the part d has a small outlet-passage c. Thepart 01 has two arms which partly encircle the pipe B, and between thearms is a passage i, terminating in a reduced passage 71' at rightangles to the passage 0 in the present instance.

In order to readily secure the atomizer to the pipe B, I use a clamp E,having a hook e, which engages with the lip d on one of the arms of thepart (1. A confining-screw 6 passes through a lug on the opposite sideof the clamp E and into a lug on the other arm of the part (1, so thaton turning the screw the atomizer is securely clamped to the pipe B, theatomizer thus holding the two pipes A and B rigid in respect to eachother.

The pipe B is perforated in line with the passage t in the part (1 ofthe atomizer, and-a washer f is placed in a recess in the part 01,surrounding the passage, so as to make a water-tight joint.

It will be noticed by referring to Fig. 2 that Serial No. 22,429. (Nomodel.)

a series of these atomizers can be arranged close together and rigidlysecured to the pipes A and B by simply boring a series of holes in eachpipe and cutting screw-threads in the pipe A. Then by simply screwingthe series of atomizer-s in the pipe A and clamping them to the pipe Bthe several atomizers are quickly assembled in proper position. If, forinstance, water and steam are used, water is introduced in the pipe Band steam introduced into the pipe A. The pressure of the steam throughthe small openings will atomize the water as it comes from the pipe Bthrough the passages 2', forming a thin mist, which will spray thematerial against which it is directed.

It will be understood that my invention can be used in spraying anysuitable liquids by means of any fluid under pressure.

I claim asmy invention 1. The combination in an atomizer, of two pipes,a body secured to one pipe and having one end constructed to form aclamp encircling the other pipe and holding the body thereto, passagesin said body opening at an angle and in close proximity to each other,one passage communicating with one pipe and the other communicating withthe other pipe, substantially as described.

2. The combination of two pipes arranged side by side, with a series ofindependent atomizers secured to said pipes, passages in each atomizercom municating with said pipes, one end of each atomizer having on it aclamp constructed to engage with one of the pipes and to rigidly holdsaid atomizer, substantially as described.

3. The combination in an atomizer, of two pipes arranged side by side, aseries of tubular sections each having two passages therein one at anangle to the other and forming an 99 atomizer, one end of each sectionbeing screwed into an opening in one pipe and a clamp by which the otherend of each section is secured to the other pipe, the passages in thesections communicating with the pipes, substantially as described.

4. Au atomizer having passages opening at an angle and in closeproximity to each other, screw-threads on one end of the atomizer and aclamp on the other end through which one we of said passages opens, arecess in the clamp name to this specification in the presence ofsurrounding said opening and material in two subscribing witnesses. saidrecess whereby a fluid-tight joint is obtained between the end of theatomizer and I JOSIAH PROCl any object to which it is clamped, substan-Witnesses: tiaily as described. NESTER ATKINSON,

In testimony whereof I have signed my M. 11. MACMUNN.
